Coppertone

Copper: Brown falls in love with Gold.

Ideal: Keep the color light on your lids so you can either do a heavier cheek, or keep your lips nude to simplify your look.

Flawless: MAC cosmetic's Amber Lights on her crease with a gold lid and soft pink lip.

Pretty Powerful

Bobbi Brown's "Pretty Powerful" campaign for Spring 2010 which features looks for women of all skin types, age, and make-up style.

Starry Night

Coral Reef

Coral: An orange & goldish version of pink

Bobbi Brown just launched its Spring line of lipsticks, shimmers, and glosses -- I have to say I have a new found respect for the color Coral!

Favorite: Nectar Shimmer Brick & Pink Quartz

Result: It combines a range of corals and produces a beautiful shimmered cheek with just enough shine to make your face glow

Do: A coral lipstick with a shiny gloss, suttle eyes, and blush.

Designer Face

Award shows are an opportune time to let your inner diva shine with not only a designer gown, but a designer face!

Hollywood's leading ladies have access to the world's most talented make-up artists, so I'm especially interested in how styles are applied based on the dress, and how it all comes together when they are strutting down the red carpet...

Kate: Classy, natural, and flawless.

Tip: When wearing a bold color, keep your make-up natural!

Drew: Love her transformation in the last few years!

Love: Her color choices in a berry lip, dark brows, and rosy cheeks.

Hayden: Navy blue is super sexy.
Must: A smokey eye with a natural lip an ideal look when you are wearing a dark color.

Cameron: Red is a bold color that can be worn year round in my opinion

Avoid: Wearing a red dress, with red lipstick? Negative.

Drama Queen

There are several ways to shape and dramatize your eye make-up.

Favorite: A white/frosty eye pencil or shadow to be lined on the inside half your eye.

Tip: Be sure to blend evenly with the rest of your eye-liner to produce the desired effect.

Drama: Don't be afraid to use colored eye pencils and combine with a white eye liner, or MAC cosmetic's Nylon eye-shadow.

Power of Pink

Greenhouse Effect

Client Request: A smokey eye with green shadow

Selection: Bash & Ivy Ink Green Gel liner by Bobbi Brown

Green with Envy: If you blacken your creases, your eyes illustrate an ideal blend of a metallic forest green smokey eye.

Neccessary: An angled eye brush is key to using Bobbi Brown gel liners

A Champagne Toast

New year, new trends.

Since working at Bobbi Brown, I've fallen in love with their shimmer shadow called Champagne. It's the perfect blend of gold, nude, and shimmer!

Fact: You can pair this shadow with almost any lip color, since it provides your eyes with a touch of shimmer!

The Silver Lining

Silver: Gray's metallic evil twin

Dare to be evil! A silver shadow is an ideal base with colors like black and gray.


Boundaries: Keep your silver shadow primarily in the inside portion of your lid to attract just enough attention to your eyes.


Try: Urban Decay's Gunmetal is an ideal candidate for silver plus gray, and a added glitter surprise!

Frenemies

Enemy: Dark circles

Friend: Concealer Estée Lauder 'Re-Nutriv' Intensive Concealing Duo

I have had a concealer craze for several years and experimented with as many brands as I could find including Bobbi Brown, MAC, and Sephora...

It wasn't until recently I was introduced to Estee Lauder's concealer which I can proudly say has worked it's magic. The combination of two pigment concealers gives you as much coverage as you prefer and does not crease or crack!

Necessary: Even if you are blessed with a flawless eye area, concealer is the key to brightening up your face.
